A decoration panel with animation effects mounted to a pedal cycle comprises a panel, a linkage cable and a transmission mechanism adapted to a frame including a wheel and an axial of he pedal cycle; the panel being inserted with a pattern board showing a pattern on a display window in front of the panel; a cable core of the linkage cable having its upper end fixed to the pattern board; the transmission mechanism including a pin driven by a cam or an eccentric characterized by that: said cam or eccentric being linked to a reduction gear or an intermittent reduction gear connected to the axial of the wheel to cause the pattern board to change at slow motion or have a static 3D display.

(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a decoration panel with animation display mounted to a pedal cycle, and more particularly, to one that provided animation display simultaneously as the cycle advances for visual effects of speed variable or static display of animation to add more fin of riding.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of a wheel of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of a first preferred embodiment of the present invention adapted with a cam.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a panel (1), a linkage cable (2) and a transmission mechanism (3) adapted to a frame (4) of a pedal cycle; the frame (4) including a wheel (41) and a fork (43) engaged to an axial (42).
The panel (1) provided at where close to a handle (44) of the frame (4) is a painting frame inserted inside a pattern board (11); a display window (12) in front of the panel (1) to expose a pattern on the pattern board (11); a fixation bit (111) bent into an “L” shape extending from the bottom of the pattern board (11); and a conduit (13) extending also from the bottom of the panel (1) inserted in a spring (14) before being inserted into the fixation bit (111) for the pattern board (11) to slide up and down as guided along the conduit (13) and to return to its home point, thus to cause the portion of the pattern visible in the display window (12) to change; i.e., the pattern changes its presentation to a viewer.
The linkage cable (2) in the similar structure of a braking cable adapted to a bicycle, is a cable core (21) inserted into a sheath having an upper end (211) of the core (21) to pass through the conduit (13) and secured to the fixation bit (11) while a lower end (212) of the core (21) being secured to a pin (31) to be described later, since the lower end (212) of the core (21) being driven by the pin (31) linked to it; the pattern board (11) for being linked to the lower end (212) of the core (21) becomes movable.
